We've got two numbers: 1716 and 9991. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 3 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 1716 + 9991 = 11707.
